In the Public Domain
An interesting collection of essays by Greg Goebel, a former HPite and
a real Renaissance man. He's an engineer and writer like me. Greg has
covered a wide range of topics since he started his email newsletter,
Vectors, in the mid 1980s. Greg published the last issue of
Vectors in February 2007. I hope he continues with his website.
This is True
A humorous collection of "weird news," compiled and rewritten by Randy
Cassingham. Randy started his weekly email newsletter, This Just In, in
1994. He changed the title to This Is True in 1998. Whatever it's
called, True has proven to be very successful, popular, and
profitable. The This is True website appeared in 1995.
You can sign up to receive the monthly This is True newsletter on the
front page of his website.
Courage and Confidence
Actually, what you want to do is
subscribe to Dr. TC North's
EnCOURAGEment, a brief motivational thought that gives you a weekly
boost in both courage and confidence for the week.
I became acquainted with Dr. TC North through his daughter, one of my
math students. TC specializes in motivating and encouraging people to take
the chance to become their best. TC's business, Catalyst High Performance,
started out helping athletes become successful, and expanded to the point
that he now deals mostly with entrepreneurs, leadership teams and sales
professionals. But his weekly EnCOURAGEment is useful for anybody,
even you. Tell him I sent you.

The best translation dictionary I've found. Unfortunately, it's
limited to English, Spanish, French Italian and Portugese. For other
languages, you still need to rely on
Babelfish.
